Mathematica is Wolfram's original, flagship product-primarily aimed at technical computing for R&D and education.

Mathematica in the Wolfram Product Universe Mathematica has always stayed true to its core principles and careful design disciplines, letting it continually move forward and integrate new functionality and methodologies without ever having to backtrack. If you're one of the lucky people who used Mathematica 1, the code you wrote over three decades ago will still work-and you'll recognize the core ideas of Mathematica 1 in the vast system that is Mathematica today. WHAT YOU LEARNED IN VERSION 1 STILL WORKS Versions of Mathematica aren't just incremental software updates each successive one is a serious achievement that extends the paradigm of computation in new directions and introduces important new ideas. Mathematica has followed a remarkable trajectory of accelerating innovation for three decades-made possible at every stage by systematically building on its increasingly large capabilities so far. Math was Mathematica's first great application area-and building on that success, Mathematica has systematically expanded into a vast range of areas, covering all forms of technical computing and beyond. When Mathematica first appeared in 1988, it revolutionized technical computing-and every year since then it's kept going, introducing new functions, new algorithms and new ideas.
